Abstract

Provided is a hot-dip Al—Zn—Mg—Si coated steel sheet having good corrosion resistance in flat parts and edge parts, and also having excellent worked part corrosion resistance. The hot-dip Al—Zn—Mg—Si coated steel sheet includes a base steel sheet and a hot-dip coating on a surface of the base steel sheet. The hot-dip coating includes an interfacial alloy layer present at an interface with the base steel sheet and a main layer present on the interfacial alloy layer, and contains from 25 mass % to 80 mass % of Al, from greater than 0.6 mass % to 15 mass % of Si, and from greater than 0.1 mass % to 25 mass % of Mg. The Mg content and Si content in the hot-dip coating satisfy formula (1): M Mg /( M Si −0.6)>1.7  (1) where M Mg represents the Mg content (mass %) and M Si represents the Si content (mass %).
